GOSPORT Borough have withdrawn from the Russell Cotes Cup.
The final will still go ahead, however, with beaten semi-finalists AFC Portchester reinstated in Borough’s place.
The Royals will play Bemerton Heath Harlequins next Wednesday (May 3, 7.45pm) at Havant & Waterlooville’s Westleigh Park home.
A statement released by the Hampshire FA explained: "Gosport Borough FC have tendered their withdrawal from the Hampshire FA Russell Cotes Cup sponsored by Harold G Walker Solicitors, which has been reluctantly accepted.
"Following an emergency County Cup Sub-Committee meeting held on Thursday 27th April 2017, it has been decided to reinstate AFC Portchester into the final of the competition.
"As a result, they will now face Bemerton Heath Harlequins FC at Havant & Waterlooville FC on Wednesday 3rd May 2017 (19:45 kick off)."
Tickets for the game are available on the evening, priced £6 adults and £3 concessions.
